There are a number of pubs and restaurants located in the nearby town of Fishguard – a five-minute drive away – the most popular being the Royal Oak Inn. The pub has an interesting history, its locals having thwarted a French invasion attempt on Wales' west coast in 1797. These days it's much more peaceful, open for food every day of the year aside from Christmas, with a menu combining pub classics with a few more unique options such as katsu chicken and Spanish barra gallega. In Newport, a 10-minute drive away, Coney Island Ice Cream is right next to the boat club, making ice cream widely considered to be the best around. In Newport town, make your way to The Canteen, with a delicious menu of stonebaked pizzas and salads in a relaxed, modern setting.
